As a child, Ali Neuman narrowly escaped being murdered by Inkhata, a militant political party at war with Nelson Mandela's African National Congress. Only he and his mother survived the carnage of those years. But as with many survivors, the psychological scars remain.

ça commençait plutôt bien avec la mise en place de l’intrigue a travers l’enquête du meurtre de la jeune fille qui entremêle un danger plus conséquent, mais ça tombe très vite au cliché du polar un peu noir où on force sur des éléments tellement peu convaincants, au dela même que ça soit couru d’avance sur l’aspect vengeance etc, plus le film avance, plus c’est mauvais.

Really liked this film that has some verya odd casting, being that it is an African film/ setting. Director Jérôme Salle does a sterling job with creating a cop thriller and it is a shame it hasn't been marketed well as it shall be one film that goes unnoticed by the masses.
Oddly I thought Orlando Bloom did a cracking job, considering I find him a shit actor. Whitker was good, but not great. The role was supposed to go to Djimon Hounsou and for what ever reason he passed, Forest gained the gig.
A few sequences were brilliantly played out and you can see clear influences from crime thrillers that have gone before.
There are a few aspects of the story that seemed unanswered and I can only assume that these were in the original cut before time became a factor. It would be very interesting to see what was cut. Most importantly, the ending felt a little anti-climactic.
Definitely one to recommend but don't expect Seven or LA Confidential.
